Electronic Bulletin Board: Has 10 events on it currently – Kudos to the NW Chamber for keeping up with changes, etc!

Chestertown Road Signs: A committee has been formed to go over current ‘signage laws’ in town. The TLBA has suggested signs be allowed up 14 days before an event and must be removed at least 7 days after. It was also suggested to limit signage to professionally made signs (except for garage sales) and to keep signage to local events (eliminating Sky Diving in Saratoga, etc).

Wakonda Campground is having a fund raiser Labor Day weekend for a scholarship in memory of Anita VanDoren and the TLBA is donating a $50 Visa card for the raffles.

Chestertown Farmers Market: Every Wednesday 10AM – 2PM from now until mid-Sept – market is averaging over 1,000 people a day !!!!
